AV Comparatives has published an article about the best antivirus ranking based primarily on the results of an extensive report, no doubt I am facing one of the biggest questions that arises when users install antivirus to protect their computer from various threats. We begin by observing the behavior of each virus against different Trojans, viruses, worms, and malware in general:

eScan 91%
Sophos 90.1%
Norman 88.5%
